| Been a while, but I am here again! 
 
  I got a Walthers Mainline Dash 8-40BW locomotive, an ex-ATSF unit (still wearing the Warbonnet scheme but with "BNSF" painted over the "Santa Fe" lettering on the sides). It's the DCC-ready version.
 
 
  Here it is hauling my main freight! I've decided to switch from CSX to BNSF, to honor that merger's 30th anniversary this year. And with this, I can confirm TCS's EU821 decoder works in the Walthers Mainline HO-scale Dash 8-40Bs.

                | Glad to see you back Wiley!  Nice looking loco! Glenn
 
 I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
